Where Does the Quantum World End and Ours Begin?

But there are other worldviews, if you like, other interpretations.

One of the most famous Complements to these ideas is Bohmian mechanics, if you're familiar with that one, or de Broglie-Bohm theory, which basically does take standard quantum mechanics, which is based on a wave function, but says the particle has a wave function and it also has a position trajectory.
J
36:26Jonathan HalliwellGUEST
Then you don't need to worry about is the particle here or there.
J
36:30Jonathan HalliwellGUEST
The particle definitely has a trajectory, it's definitely somewhere.

Is there a third option? Can we have a single deterministic universe?
S
62:30speaker_1HOST
There is a third major contender, the de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave theory.
S
62:34speaker_1HOST
This is a return to stark physical reality.
S

In this interpretation, there is no wave-particle duality where a thing is both.

J
30:59Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
So the multiverse interpretation is one.
J
31:01Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
There's another interpretation called d- de Broglie–Bohm pilot waves, which actually is the one that I have a soft spot for.
P
31:08Peter McCormackHOST
Okay.
J
31:09Jim Al-KhaliliGUEST
It says there's only one universe, and that when you get entangled particles, they can indeed communicate instantaneously.

And this is part of the problem with quantum mechanics.
R
34:39Robert WilesGUEST
a Nobel laureate called de Broglie in the 1930s.
R
34:45Robert WilesGUEST
He was the one who said that matter is both a wave and a particle at the same time.
R
34:51Robert WilesGUEST
Got a Nobel Prize for it.
R
35:01Robert WilesGUEST
He was a gentleman and he got shouted down by Niels Bohr and he said, that's fine and walked off.
R
35:07Robert WilesGUEST
But in the 50s, Einstein pushed a fellow called David Bohm to further develop this model.
R
35:14Robert WilesGUEST
It's now called the de Broglie Bohm model of quantum mechanics.
R
35:19Robert WilesGUEST
And it's a quantum realist model.
